Thomas St. Lawrence
Thomas St. Lawrence, also called Thomas Howth (c.1480-1553) was a leading statesman and judge in sixteenth-century Ireland. He held the offices of Attorney General for Ireland and judge of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland) and was a member of the Privy Council of Ireland. He is remembered for his efforts to save the life of John Alen, Archbishop of Dublin, who was murdered during the Rebellion of Silken Thomas, and for his opposition to the Reformation which led to a bitter clash with John Bale, Bishop of Ossory. His family were Barons and later Earls of Howth, hence his alternative name Thomas Howth.
==Background==
He was a younger son of Robert St Lawrence, 3rd Baron Howth. His date of birth and his mother's identity are unclear. His brother Nicholas St Lawrence, 4th Baron Howth, their father's son by his first wife, Alice White, was born around 1460;〔Pine, L.G. ''The New Extinct Peerages 1884-1971'' 192 p.150〕 but Thomas, who was a student in 1503 and still strong enough to undertake a long journey in 1553, must have been considerably younger. Elrington Ball is therefore probably correct in arguing that Thomas was the son of the 3rd Baron by his second marriage to Joan Beaufort, daughter of Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset, which took place in 1478.〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221-1921'' 1926 John Murray London Vol.1 p.202〕 Joan was a close relative of Henry VII, which, if Thomas was her son, would help explain his rise to prominence.
